Q:Suggestions and stories needed. We have 3 kids, 2 dogs (inside). I am on the fence. We bought stuff for doing the tile but now I am thinking laminate.

Both are good choices. Tile is more durable but its cold in the winter and harder on the feet. Laminate has a warmer feel and the pad gives it a little bit softer feel. Plus glass objects don't always break when you dop them on it. But it can be damaged a lot easier than tile. I am not saying its easily damaged, by no means, its very durable and will with stand 3 kids and 2 dogs. Laminate is also not recommended in high moister areas. As far as maintaining the floors, Laminate is easier just wipe it up a few times a month and your good to go. Tile needs the grout to be sealed and needs to be scrubbed when t gets real dirty.

Q:Anyone know how much I should expect to pay to have a professional install ceramic tile flooring? The prep work has been done. The tile is 12 x 12, there‘s about 90 sq ft of floor (concrete... sealed). I‘ve purchased the materials (tile, thinset, grout). I just want to know how much to expect to pay for labor. Is $5.00 per sq ft. too much? That‘s the quote I was given. Thanks for any help.

Sometimes it is not only how many square feet of tile is required to put down, the formula also must take into consideration the difficulty of the installation. The difficulty is proportional to the number of cuts that are required to be performed and weather these cuts are straight or curved. There are also other expenses. 1.Soundness of sub floor. If poorly supported the tile will crack. 2.Does installation require removal of base molding and its replacement following the installation? 3.Moving of the appliances/furniture and so on. Finally, now days and roughly, the installer wants to make $260-400 per day. Tiling is never 1 day job since application of grout is required at least 24h following the installation. So if the job is straight forward 3.5 - 4.5 per square feet is a good price on the average. Considering it is with prep $5.00 sounds like Ok. New York City or LA for example may cost a bit more. Let me know if it helps.
